PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

     (a)  General Development of Business

     American Income Fund I-B, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership, (the
"Partnership") was organized as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts
Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Uniform Act") on December 31, 1990 for the
purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of
capital equipment. Partners' capital initially consisted of contributions of
$1,000 from the General Partner (AFG Leasing VI Incorporated) and $100 from the
Initial Limited Partner (AFG Assignor Corporation). On March 1, 1991, the
Partnership issued 286,711 units of limited partnership interest (the "Units")
to 453 investors. The Partnership has one General Partner, AFG Leasing VI
Incorporated, a Massachusetts corporation formed in 1990 and an affiliate of
Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership (formerly known as American Finance
Group), a Massachusetts limited partnership ("EFG" or the "Manager"). The
General Partner is not required to make any other capital contributions except
as may be required under the Uniform Act and Section 6.1(b) of the Amended and
Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated
Agreement, as amended").

     (b)  Financial Information About Industry Segments

     The Partnership is engaged in only one operating industry segment:
financial services. Historically, the Partnership has acquired capital equipment
and leased the equipment to creditworthy lessees on a full payout or operating
lease basis. Full payout leases are those in which aggregate undiscounted
noncancellable rents equal or exceed the acquisition cost of the leased
equipment. Operating leases are those in which the aggregate undiscounted
noncancellable rental payments are less than the acquisition cost of the leased
equipment. Industry segment data is not applicable.

     See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" incorporated herein by reference to the 2000 Annual
Report.

     In connection with a preliminary settlement agreement for a Class Action
Lawsuit described in Note 7 to the financial statements, included in Item 14
herein, the court permitted the Partnership to invest in any new investment,
including but not limited to new equipment or other business activities, subject
to certain limitations. On March 8, 2000, the Partnership loaned $1,310,000 to a
newly formed real estate company, Echelon Residential Holdings LLC ("Echelon
Residential Holdings") to finance the acquisition of real estate assets by that
company. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned subsidiary
("Echelon Residential LLC"), used the loan proceeds, along with the loan
proceeds from similar loans by ten affiliated partnerships representing $32
million in the aggregate, to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon
International Corporation, an independent Florida-based real estate company.
Echelon Residential Holding's interest in Echelon Residential LLC is pledged
pursuant to a pledge agreement to the partnerships as collateral for the loans.

     (c)  Narrative Description of Business

     The Partnership was organized to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital
equipment subject to various full payout and operating leases and to lease the
equipment to third parties as income-producing investments. More specifically,
the Partnership's primary investment objectives were to acquire and lease
equipment that would:

     1. Generate quarterly cash distributions;

     2. Preserve and protect Partnership capital; and

     3. Maintain substantial residual value for ultimate sale.

     The Partnership has the additional objective of providing certain federal
income tax benefits.

     The Closing Date of the offering of Units of the Partnership was March 1,
1991. Significant operations commenced coincident with the Partnership's initial
purchase of equipment and the associated lease commitments on March 1, 1991. The
acquisition of the equipment and its associated leases is described in Note 3 to
the financial statements included in Item 14, herein. The Restated Agreement, as
amended, provides that the Partnership will terminate no later than December 31,
2002. However, the Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in

                                       3
<PAGE>

a Class Action Lawsuit, the outcome of which could significantly alter the
nature of the Partnership's organization and its future business operations. The
General Partner does not expect that the Partnership will be dissolved until
such time that the Class Action Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated.

     The Partnership has no employees; however, it is managed pursuant to a
Management Agreement with EFG or one of its affiliates. The Manager's role,
among other things, is to (i) evaluate, select, negotiate, and consummate the
acquisition of equipment, (ii) manage the leasing, re-leasing, financing, and
refinancing of equipment, and (iii) arrange the resale of equipment. The Manager
is compensated for such services as provided for in the Restated Agreement, as
amended, described in Item 13 herein, and in Note 5 to the financial statements
included in Item 14, herein.

     The Partnership's investment in equipment is, and will continue to be,
subject to various risks, including physical deterioration, technological
obsolescence, credit quality and defaults by lessees. A principal business risk
of owning and leasing equipment is the possibility that aggregate lease revenues
and equipment sale proceeds will be insufficient to provide an acceptable rate
of return on invested capital after payment of all debt service costs and
operating expenses. Another risk is that the credit quality of the lease may
deteriorate after a lease is made. In addition, the leasing industry is very
competitive. The Partnership is subject to considerable competition when
re-leasing or selling equipment at the expiration of its lease terms. The
Partnership must compete with lease programs offered directly by manufacturers
and other equipment leasing companies, many of which have greater resources,
including limited partnerships and trusts organized and managed similarly to the
Partnership and including other EFG sponsored partnerships and trusts, which may
seek to re-lease or sell equipment within their own portfolios to the same
customers as the Partnership. In addition, default by a lessee under a lease may
cause equipment to be returned to the Partnership at a time when the General
Partner or the Manager is unable to arrange for the re-lease or sale of such
equipment. This could result in the loss of anticipated revenue.

     The loan made by the Partnership to Echelon Residential Holdings is, and
will continue to be, subject to various risks, including the risk of default by
Echelon Residential Holdings, which could require the Partnership to foreclose
under the pledge agreement on its interests in Echelon Residential LLC. The
ability of Echelon Residential Holdings to make loan payments and the amount the
Partnership may realize after a default would be dependent upon the risks
generally associated with the real estate lending business including, without
limitation, the existence of senior financing or other liens on the properties,
general or local economic conditions, property values, the sale of properties,
interest rates, real estate taxes, other operating expenses, the supply and
demand for properties involved, zoning and environmental laws and regulations,
rent control laws and other governmental rules. A default by Echelon Residential
Holdings could have a material adverse effect on the future cash flow and
operating results of the Partnership.

      The Restated Agreement, as amended, prohibits the Partnership from making
loans to the General Partner or its affiliates. Since the acquisition of the
several parcels of real estate from the owner had to occur prior to the
admission of certain independent third parties as equity owners, Echelon
Residential Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Echelon Residential LLC,
were formed in anticipation of their admission. The General Partner agreed to an
officer of the Manager serving as the initial equity holder of Echelon
Residential Holdings and as an unpaid manager. The officer made a $185,465
equity investment in Echelon Residential Holdings. His return on his equity
investment is restricted to the same rate of return as the partnerships realize
on their loans. There is a risk that the court may object to the general
partner's action in structuring the loan in this way and may require the
partnerships to restructure or divest the loan.

     The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") places restrictions on the
capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder.
The Partnership has active business operations in the financial services
industry, including equipment leasing and the loan to Echelon Residential
Holdings. The Partnership does not intend to engage in investment activities in
a manner or to an extent that would require the Partnership to register as an
investment company under the Act. However, it is possible that the Partnership
may unintentionally engage in an activity or activities that may be construed to
fall within the scope of the Act. If the Partnership were to be determined to be
an investment company, its business would be adversely affected. If necessary,
the Partnership intends to avoid being deemed an investment company by disposing
of or acquiring certain assets that it might not otherwise dispose of or
acquire.

     Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of
lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is
incorporated herein by reference to Note 2 to the financial statements included
in Item 14. Refer to Item 14(a)(3) for lease agreements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     EFG is a Massachusetts limited partnership formerly known as American
Finance Group ("AFG"). AFG was established in 1988 as a Massachusetts general
partnership and succeeded American Finance Group, Inc., a Massachusetts
corporation organized in 1980. EFG and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") are engaged in various aspects of the equipment leasing business,
including EFG's role as Manager or Advisor to the Partnership and several other
direct-participation equipment leasing programs sponsored or co-sponsored by EFG
(the "Other Investment Programs"). The Company arranges to broker or originate
equipment leases, acts as remarketing agent and asset manager, and provides
leasing support services, such as billing, collecting, and asset tracking.

     The general partner of EFG, with a 1% controlling interest, is Equis
Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation owned and controlled entirely by Gary
D. Engle, its President, Chief Executive Officer and sole Director. Equis
Corporation also owns a controlling 1% general partner interest in EFG's 99%
limited partner, GDE Acquisition Limited Partnership ("GDE LP"). Mr. Engle
established Equis Corporation and GDE LP in December 1994 for the sole purpose
of acquiring the business of AFG.

     In January 1996, the Company sold certain assets of AFG relating primarily
to the business of originating new leases, and the name "American Finance
Group," and its acronym, to a third party. AFG changed its name to Equis
Financial Group Limited Partnership after the sale was concluded. Pursuant to
terms of the sale agreements, EFG specifically reserved the rights to continue
using the name American Finance Group and its acronym in connection with the
Partnership and the Other Investment Programs and to continue managing all
assets owned by the Partnership and the Other Investment Programs.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S SECURITIES AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER
MATTERS.

     (a) Market Information

     There is no public market for the resale of the Units and it is not
anticipated that a public market for resale of the Units will develop.

     (b) Approximate Number of Security Holders

     At December 31, 2000, there were 445 record holders in the Partnership.

     (c) Dividend History and Restrictions

     Historically, the amount of cash distributions to be paid to the Partners
had been determined on a quarterly basis. Each quarter's distribution may have
varied in amount and was made 95% to the Limited Partners and 5% to the General
Partner. Generally, cash distributions have been paid within 15 days after the
completion of each calendar quarter.

     The Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit described
in Note 7 to the financial statements included in Item 14, herein. The proposed
settlement to that lawsuit, if effected, will materially change the future
organizational structure and business interests of the Partnership, as well as
its cash distribution policies. In addition, commencing with the first quarter
of 2000, the General Partner suspended the payment of quarterly cash
distributions pending final resolution of the Class Action Lawsuit. Accordingly,
future cash distributions are not expected to be paid until the Class Action
Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated.

     In any given year, it is possible that Limited Partners will be allocated
taxable income in excess of distributed cash. This discrepancy between tax
obligations and cash distributions may or may not continue in the future, and
cash may or may not be available for distribution to the Limited Partners
adequate to cover any tax obligation.

     Distributions declared in 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

                                                          GENERAL       LIMITED
                                             TOTAL        PARTNER       PARTNERS
                                            --------      --------      --------
Total 2000 distributions declared ....      $   --        $   --        $   --

Total 1999 distributions declared ....       226,351        11,318       215,033
                                            --------      --------      --------

                      Total ..........      $226,351      $ 11,318      $215,033
                                            ========      ========      ========

     There are no formal restrictions under the Restated Agreement, as amended,
that materially limit the Partnership's ability to pay cash distributions,
except that the General Partner may suspend or limit cash distributions to
ensure that the Partnership maintains sufficient working capital reserves to
cover, among other things, operating costs and potential expenditures, such as
refurbishment costs to remarket equipment upon lease expiration. In addition to
the need for funds in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit, liquidity is
especially important as the Partnership matures and sells equipment, because the
remaining equipment base consists of fewer revenue-producing assets that are
available to cover prospective cash disbursements. Insufficient liquidity could
inhibit the Partnership's ability to sustain its operations or maximize the
realization of proceeds from remarketing its remaining assets.

     Cash distributions consist of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings.

     "Distributable Cash From Operations" means the net cash provided by the
Partnership's normal operations after general expenses and current liabilities
of the Partnership are paid, reduced by any reserves for working capital and
contingent liabilities to be funded from such cash, to the extent deemed
reasonable by the General Partner, and increased by any portion of such reserves
deemed by the General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations and
reduced by all accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after Payout,

                                       6
<PAGE>

further reduced by all accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees.
Distributable Cash From Operations does not include any Distributable Cash From
Sales or Refinancings.

     "Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From Sales or
Refinancings as reduced by (i)(a) amounts realized from any loss or destruction
of equipment which the General Partner determines shall be reinvested in similar
equipment for the remainder of the original lease term of the lost or destroyed
equipment, or in isolated instances, in other equipment, if the General Partner
determines that investment of such proceeds will significantly improve the
diversity of the Partnership's equipment portfolio, and subject in either case
to satisfaction of all existing indebtedness secured by such equipment to the
extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partner, or (b) the
proceeds from the sale of an interest in equipment pursuant to any agreement
governing a joint venture which the General Partner determines will be invested
in additional equipment or interests in equipment and which ultimately are so
reinvested and (ii) any accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after
Payout, any accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees.

     "Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means cash received by the Partnership
from sale or refinancing transactions, as reduced by (i)(a) all debts and
liabilities of the Partnership required to be paid as a result of sale or
refinancing transactions, whether or not then due and payable (including any
liabilities on an item of equipment sold which are not assumed by the buyer and
any remarketing fees required to be paid to persons not affiliated with the
General Partner, but not including any Subordinated Remarketing Fees whether or
not then due and payable) and (b) general expenses and current liabilities of
the Partnership (other than any portion of the Equipment Management Fee which is
required to be accrued and the Subordinated Remarketing Fee) and (c) any
reserves for working capital and contingent liabilities funded from such cash to
the extent deemed reasonable by the General Partner and (ii) increased by any
portion of such reserves deemed by the General Partner not to be required for
Partnership operations. In the event the Partnership accepts a note in
connection with any sale or refinancing transaction, all payments subsequently
received in cash by the Partnership with respect to such note shall be included
in Cash From Sales or Refinancings, regardless of the treatment of such payments
by the Partnership for tax or accounting purposes. If the Partnership receives
purchase money obligations in payment for equipment sold, which are secured by
liens on such equipment, the amount of such obligations shall not be included in
Cash From Sales or Refinancings until the obligations are fully satisfied.

     "Payout" is defined as the first time when the aggregate amount of all
distributions to the Limited Partners of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the
Limited Partners' original capital contributions plus a cumulative annual
distribution of 11% (compounded quarterly and calculated beginning with the last
day of the month of the Partnership's Closing Date) on their aggregate
unreturned capital contributions. For purposes of this definition, capital
contributions shall be deemed to have been returned only to the extent that
distributions of cash to the Limited Partners exceed the amount required to
satisfy the cumulative annual distribution of 11% (compounded quarterly) on the
Limited Partners' aggregate unreturned capital contributions, such calculation
to be based on the aggregate unreturned capital contributions outstanding on the
first day of each fiscal quarter.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Members of
Echelon Residential Holdings LLC:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Echelon
Residential Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("the Company")
as of December 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statement of operations,
members' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the period March 8, 2000 (date
of inception) through December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period March
8, 2000 (date of inception) through December 31, 2000 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PERIOD MARCH 8, 2000 (DATE OF INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2000

1.    SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BACKGROUND - On March 7, 2000, EIN Acquisition Corporation ("EIN
      Acquisition") closed on a Tender Offer ("Tender Offer") for all of the
      outstanding shares of Echelon International Corporation ("Echelon") for a
      cash price of $34.00 per share. Immediately after the close of the Tender
      Offer, EIN Acquisition merged into Echelon (the "Merger"), with Echelon
      being the surviving entity.

      In conjunction with the Tender Offer, Echelon had entered into various
      contracts to sell or convey various real estate assets and investments in
      two real estate joint ventures to third parties. Subsequent to the Merger
      on March 8, 2000, Echelon closed on existing contracts to sell or convey
      its real estate assets and investments in two real estate joint ventures.
      Specific real estate assets and investments in two real estate joint
      ventures were sold to Echelon Residential LLC ("Echelon Residential"), a
      wholly owned limited liability subsidiary of Echelon Residential Holdings
      LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings" or the "Company"). Echelon Residential
      will own, manage, and develop or sell these purchased multi-family
      residential properties.

      The acquisition of the assets by Echelon Residential was accounted for as
      an asset purchase under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 ("APB
      No. 16"). In accordance with APB No. 16, Echelon Residential allocated the
      total purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
      on the estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. Since the
      purchase price of the business was less than the fair market value of the
      net assets acquired, the credit excess was allocated on a pro-rata basis
      to the real estate, corporate equipment and the investment in an
      unconsolidated joint venture. There are no contingencies or other matters
      that could materially affect the allocation of the purchase cost. The
      results of operations of the acquired real estate assets and investments
      in two real estate joint ventures are included in the consolidated results
      of Echelon Residential Holdings from the acquisition date.

      The Company's summarized consolidated balance sheet, reflecting the above
      acquisition of assets, as of March 8, 2000 is as follows:

      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - Echelon Residential Holdings was formed on
      February 29, 2000, under the laws of the state of Delaware and operates in
      one industry segment: owning, leasing, developing, and managing real
      estate. There were no activities of Echelon Residential Holdings from
      February 29, 2000 through March 8, 2000. The Company is governed by its
      Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement ("the Agreement")
      dated June 23, 2000. At March 8, 2000, members' equity included capital
      contributions from the initial members of the Company, James A. Coyne and
      Charles E. Cobb, Jr. ("Initial Members"), who made collective capital
      contributions of $195,226. On June 23, 2000, the participating members,
      Darryl A. LeClair and Susan G. Johnson ("Participating Members") made
      capital contributions totaling $2,651,162. The collective Participating
      Members' capital contributions are comprised of Participating A Capital of
      $2,591,093, Participating B Capital of $45,052 and additional capital
      contributions of $15,017.

      Subsequent to the initial capital contributions above, the Agreement was
      executed and includes a provision whereby the members have no further
      obligation to contribute additional amounts of capital to the Company. If
      the Company requires additional funds, the Board of Managers is to notify
      the members. Each member has the right to contribute a pro rata share of
      such additional funds, based on the relative equity contributions made by
      each member. In addition, the liability of the members of the Company is
      limited to the members' total capital contributions.

      In accordance with the Agreement, the Participating Members earn a
      cumulative compounding annual return on their unreturned capital (as
      defined), at a per annum rate equal to 14% for Participating A capital and
      15% for Participating B capital, commencing on June 23, 2000. Preferred
      returns will be paid to the Participating Members in accordance with the
      terms of the Agreement. Payout of preferred returns (if any) is contingent
      upon the cumulative performance of the Company. See Note 9 - COMMITMENTS
      AND CONTINGENCIES.

      Per the Agreement, the Company is to distribute its cash flow (if any)
      periodically, but not less frequently than quarterly. The losses and
      profits of the Company are generally allocated to the members as follows:

            a)    losses are generally allocable 77.9% to members other than
                  Participating Members and 22.1% to Participating Members, and

            b)    profits are generally allocated the same way except for a
                  priority income allocation to the Participating Members to
                  cover priority cash distributions made on their Participating
                  Capital.

      PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying consolidated financial
      statements include the accounts of Echelon Residential Holdings, its
      wholly owned subsidiary and a 60% interest in a joint venture. All
      intercompany balances have been eliminated. Investments for which the
      Company has a 20% to 50% ownership interest are accounted for using the
      equity method.

      The Company has recorded a minority interest in the Company's consolidated
      financial statements to reflect the ownership of its partner in the joint
      venture.

      ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
      accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
      requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
      amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
      liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of
      revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could
      differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the
      recoverability of real estate held for sale.

      CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
      hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities
      of three months or less.




                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

      RESTRICTED CASH - Restricted cash represents security deposits at
      multi-family residential communities held in separate noninterest-bearing
      depository accounts.

      RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS - Restricted investments represent certificates of
      deposit with maturities greater than three months. These investments are
      held by financial institutions that require such deposits in support of
      standby letters of credit.

      REAL ESTATE - Real estate additions are recorded at cost. Interest and
      real estate taxes incurred during construction periods are capitalized and
      depreciated on the same basis as the related assets. Costs directly
      related to the acquisition, development or improvement of real estate, and
      certain indirect development costs have also been capitalized.
      Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
      lives of the assets as follows:

                                                                  ESTIMATED
                                                                USEFUL LIVES

      Buildings                                                    35 years
      Furniture, fixtures, and equipment                         3-10 years

      IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The carrying value of long-lived assets,
      including property and equipment, will be reviewed for impairment whenever
      events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value cannot
      be recovered from undiscounted future cash flows.

      REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of real
      estate properties when title has passed to the buyer and all contingencies
      have been removed. Rental revenues, management fees and developer fees are
      recognized when earned.

      INCOME TAXES - Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and
      applicable state laws, the Company is not directly subject to income
      taxes; the results of its operations are included in the tax returns of
      its members.

      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
      INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, is effective for all fiscal years
      beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes
      accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging
      activities. Under SFAS No. 133, certain contracts that were not formerly
      considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The
      Company adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. There was no
      impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
      liquidity resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 133.

      Effective March 8, 2000 (date of inception), the Company adopted the
      provisions of Securities Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
      101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101"). SAB
      No. 101 provides guidance for the recognition, presentation and disclosure
      of revenue in financial statements. The adoption of SAB No. 101 had no
      impact on the Company's financial statements.

                                                                    22,417,977
                                                                  ------------

                                                                  $ 61,092,202
                                                                  ============

      For the period March 8, 2000 (date of inception) through December 31,
      2000, the Company recorded a write-down of land held for development or
      sale of $635,437 in the consolidated statement of operations. Land held
      for development or sale was determined to have been impaired because the
      estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the two parcels
      of land. The estimated fair value of these two parcels of land was based
      on letters of intent from third-party purchasers, dated October 2000 and
      December 2000, to purchase the two parcels of land.

      As of December 31, 2000, the Company's land and land improvements held for
      development or sale includes five parcels of improved and unimproved land
      for the development of multi-family residential communities. The land is
      located in urban areas in Memphis, Tennessee; Dallas, Texas; Denver,
      Colorado and Colorado Springs, Colorado.

      As of December 31, 2000, real estate under development includes the
      following three multi-family residential communities:

3.    INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE

      In July 1999, Fannie Mae's American Communities Fund agreed to invest with
      a wholly owned subsidiary of Echelon in the development of ECHELON AT
      CHENEY PLACE, a 303-unit multi-family residential community currently
      under construction in downtown Orlando, Florida. Echelon's 20% interest in
      the joint venture was purchased by Echelon Residential, in conjunction
      with the real estate assets purchased as discussed in Note 1, SUMMARY OF
      BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The Company accounts for its
      investment in the joint venture under the equity method. Concurrent with
      the execution of the joint venture agreement with Fannie Mae's American
      Communities Fund, the joint venture executed an agreement with Wachovia
      Bank, N.A. for a $21,500,000 loan to fund the construction of ECHELON AT
      CHENEY PLACE. The loan is guaranteed by Echelon Residential.

      Construction of ECHELON AT CHENEY PLACE began in late July 1999 and
      construction continued on portions of the project through December 31,
      2000. For the period March 8, 2000 (date of inception) through December
      31, 2000, the Company recorded its share of losses for ECHELON AT CHENEY
      PLACE, from the initial operations of the project, as a reduction of the
      investment in unconsolidated joint venture. As of December 31, 2000, total
      capital expenditures and construction loan draws for the project were
      $24,834,193 and $18,408,921, respectively. Through December 31, 2000, the
      Company's capital contributions to the joint venture totaled $1,386,000.
      The total of net losses and purchase price adjustment allocated to the
      investment in unconsolidated joint venture is $322,094.

4.    CONSTRUCTION LOANS

      As of December 31, 2000, the Company's construction loans outstanding are
      as follows:

      Bank of America                                              $ 17,614,845
      First Union National Bank of Florida                            9,222,895
                                                                   ------------

                                                                   $ 26,837,740
                                                                   ============

      The Company has a $20,000,000 construction loan with Bank of America to
      fund the construction of ECHELON AT LAKESIDE. The loan is guaranteed by
      Echelon Residential. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 1.85% (8.4875% as of
      December 31, 2000), and the loan matures in September 2002. As of December
      31, 2000, the Company has made $17,614,845 of construction draws on this
      loan. See further discussion of the development of ECHELON AT LAKESIDE
      included in Note 6, INVESTMENT IN CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIP.
      Accrued interest on the Bank of America construction loan is $125,685 as
      of December 31, 2000.

      The Company has a $26,075,000 construction loan with First Union National
      Bank of Florida to fund the construction of ECHELON AT THE BALLPARK, a
      385-unit multi-family residential community currently under construction
      in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. The loan is guaranteed by Echelon
      Residential. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 1.65% (8.2125% as of December
      31, 2000) with monthly interest payments required through the term of the
      loan, which expires on June 2002. As of December 31, 2000, the Company has
      made construction draws of $9,222,895. Accrued interest on the First Union
      National Bank construction loan is $8,258 as of December 31, 2000.

      The Company's significant financial covenants include minimum net worth
      and liquidity requirements. As of December 31, 2000, the Company was in
      compliance with all financial covenants contained in its debt agreements.

      In the opinion of management, the carrying value of the Company's
      construction loans approximates their fair value based on management's
      estimates for similar issues, giving consideration to quality,




                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>

      interest rates, maturity and other significant characteristics. Although
      management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the
      estimated fair value of the construction loans, the amounts have not been
      comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial
      statements since December 31, 2000 and current estimates of fair value may
      differ significantly.

      See Note 10, SUBSEQUENT EVENT, for discussion of a construction loan
      executed for the construction of ECHELON AT UPTOWN, in February 2001.

6.    INVESTMENT IN CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIP

      In September 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of Echelon entered into a
      joint venture agreement with Turner Heritage Investments, Ltd. ("Turner")
      for the development of ECHELON AT LAKESIDE, a 181-unit multi-family
      residential community currently under construction in Plano, Texas, which
      is near Dallas. Echelon's 60% interest in the joint venture was purchased
      by Echelon Residential, in conjunction with the transaction discussed in
      Note 1, SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
      Construction of ECHELON AT LAKESIDE began in October 1999 and continued on
      portions of the project through December 31, 2000. As of December 31,
      2000, total capital expenditures for the project were $23,927,413.

      Through December 31, 2000, the Company's capital contributions totaled
      $2,592,000 and Turner contributed land valued at $2,592,000 to the joint
      venture. The Company's interest represents a controlling interest, and
      accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities,
      retained deficit, and current period results of operations of the joint
      venture for the period March 8, 2000 (date of inception) through December
      31, 2000, are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements,
      and Turner's partnership interest in the joint venture has been recorded
      as a minority interest. See further discussion of debt financing for
      ECHELON AT LAKESIDE included in Note 4, CONSTRUCTION LOANS.

7.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      In conjunction with the purchase of Echelon's interest in the joint
      venture formed for the development of ECHELON AT LAKESIDE, Echelon
      Residential also assumed the development agreement, an asset management
      agreement and a property management and leasing agreement with Lakeside
      Baywater Enterprises Limited Partnership, the joint venture partnership.
      In accordance with the development agreement, Echelon Residential has been
      engaged as the developer for ECHELON AT LAKESIDE and receives a
      development fee, payable in arrears, in monthly installments of $44,371.
      In accordance with the asset management agreement, Echelon Residential
      receives a monthly asset management fee, computed in arrears, equal to 1%
      of the ECHELON AT LAKESIDE monthly gross income. Under the terms of the
      property management and leasing agreement, Echelon Residential also
      receives a monthly management fee, computed in arrears, equal to 4% of the
      ECHELON AT LAKESIDE monthly gross income.

      2000, Echelon Residential recognized $388,212 in development, asset
      management, and property management revenues from ECHELON AT LAKESIDE.

      In conjunction with the purchase of Echelon's interest in the joint

      Residential also assumed agreements which include the payment of a
      development fee, a property management and leasing agreement and an
      incentive management fee with Cheney Place LLC, the joint venture
      partnership. In accordance with these agreements, Echelon Residential has
      been engaged as the developer for ECHELON AT CHENEY PLACE and receives a
      monthly development fee equal to 5% of the hard construction costs
      incurred during the month. Echelon Residential is also the property
      manager and leasing agent for the property and will receive a monthly
      management fee, computed in arrears, equal to $7,500 per month for two
      months prior to the opening of the clubhouse. For the next nine months
      thereafter, Echelon Residential will receive the greater of a) 3% of the
      effective monthly gross income or b) 3% of the effective monthly gross
      income that would be collected if 75% of ECHELON AT CHENEY PLACE were
      occupied at rents equaling the average pro forma base rent. Thereafter,
      the monthly management fee will be calculated as 3% of the effective
      monthly gross income of ECHELON AT CHENEY PLACE. The incentive management
      fee is equal to 2% of ECHELON AT CHENEY PLACE'S effective gross income, as
      defined. For the period March 8, 2000 (date of inception) through December
      31, 2000, Echelon Residential recognized $392,695 in development, property
      management and incentive management fee revenues from ECHELON AT CHENEY
      PLACE.

      Residential, has contracted to manage several operating multi-family
      residential communities currently leased by Echelon Commercial LLC
      ("Echelon Commercial"), a wholly owned limited liability subsidiary of
      Echelon Development LLC. Echelon Development LLC is a wholly owned limited
      liability subsidiary of Echelon Development Holdings LLC. Several of the
      equity investors in Echelon Residential Holdings are also equity investors
      in Echelon Development Holdings LLC. For the period March 8, 2000 (date of
      inception) through December 31, 2000, Echelon Residential recognized
      $587,908 in property management revenues from the management of

      $51,880 due from Echelon Commercial LLC, $19,455 due from ECHELON AT
      CHENEY PLACE and $44,186 from other related parties. These amounts were

8.    RETIREMENT PLAN

      Echelon Residential is the sponsor of the Echelon 401(k) Savings Plan
      ("Savings Plan") under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Service Code
      (the "Code"), to which participants may contribute a percentage of their
      pay up to limits established by the Code. The Company may make
      discretionary contributions to the Savings Plan. The Company did not
      contribute to the Savings Plan during the period March 8, 2000 (date of
      inception) through December 31, 2000. As of January 1, 2001, the Company
      initiated an option in the Savings Plan to include a mandatory matching
      contribution from the Company.

9.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      As of December 31, 2000, two multi-family residential communities were
      under construction and had remaining commitments of $12,985,656 with
      construction contractors.

      On December 29, 2000, the Company executed a $5,000,000 revolving
      promissory note with Echelon Development Holdings. The revolving
      promissory note has a term of 24 months, maturing on December 29, 2002,
      and an annual interest rate of 10%. Interest accrues and compounds daily
      and is




                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>

      payable on December 31st of each year the note is outstanding. As of
      December 31, 2000, there were no amounts outstanding on the revolving
      promissory note.

      As discussed in Note 1, SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
      POLICIES, the Company maintains preferred return accounts for the
      Participating Members. As of December 31, 2000, the preferred return
      balances for Participating A and B Capital were $198,597 and $3,709,
      respectively. These amounts have not been paid and therefore, have not
      been reflected as a reduction of Participating A and B Capital in the
      December 31, 2000 consolidated financial statements.

      The joint venture formed for the development of ECHELON AT LAKESIDE
      maintains preferred return accounts for the limited partners, Echelon LP,
      a wholly owned limited liability subsidiary of Echelon Residential, and
      Turner. The payment of any preferred returns to Echelon LP would be
      eliminated upon consolidation. As of December 31, 2000, the preferred
      return balance for Turner was $312,669. This amount has not been paid and
      therefore, has not been reflected as a reduction of member's equity in the
      December 31, 2000 consolidated financial statements.

10.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      In February 2001, the Company closed on a $18,600,000 loan from SouthTrust
      Bank for the construction financing of ECHELON AT UPTOWN, a 244-unit
      multi-family residential community to be developed in downtown Orlando,
      Florida. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 1.75% with monthly interest
      payments required over the 36-month initial term of the loan. The loan is
      guaranteed by Echelon Residential and construction is expected to commence
      in the second quarter of 2001.
